As a foundation for the modern enterprise, Red Hat solutions are now an

on Red Hat technologies. The 2014 Red Hat Summit is powered by Red Hat
customers and contributors and offers benefits for anyone looking to
increase their understanding of open source technology or identify
powerful enterprise solutions for their growing business needs.

From business and IT executives to enterprise architects, system
administrators and developers, the 2014 Red Hat Summit has instructional
sessions, customer panels, live demonstrations and hands-on labs
designed to appeal to each level of interest and focus within IT.
Additionally, a new invitation-only Executive Exchange event will be
sponsored by Intel, and developers can now attend DevNation, a new
community event that will feature four tracks, including one specific to
DevOps.

Red Hat Summit 2014 will feature three days of content, with sessions,
labs and panels showcasing the latest developments across infrastructure
and systems management, cloud computing, operating system,
virtualization, middleware and storage. Additionally, there will be a
focus on emerging technologies like mobile and big data.

With 18 hands-on labs and nearly 200 sessions, including speaker
participation from more than 30 customers, Red Hat Summit 2014 is the
most content-rich Summit to date. Attendees can also attend visionary
keynotes, participate in interactive sessions and collaborate with Red
Hat engineers and community members, meet Red Hat’s broad ecosystem of
partners and build strong peer connections through networking
opportunities. IBM will serve as this year’s premier sponsor for the
tenth consecutive year, with platinum sponsors Dell, HP, and Intel.

New tracks for Red Hat Summit 2014:

The Cloud deep dive track will show attendees how to implement
and operate private, public, and hybrid clouds. Sample topics include:
provisioning and flexing workloads, using Red Hat products in public
clouds, and running an on-premise Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). Attendees will learn best practices
for making the most effective use of public clouds, architecting and

The Road to RHEL 7 track will highlight the features and
capabilities that position Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 as the platform
for next-generation IT. Sessions will cover topics specific to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7 beta, ranging from Linux containers, the OpenLMI
framework and cross-domain identity management to the powerful system
and performance management tools. Attendees will learn of real-world
use cases and the experiences of beta participants to plan their own
implementations.

The Emerging technologies track will feature sessions covering
the trends and strategies driving the future of enterprise computing.
Sample topics include: big data, mobile, software-defined storage and
intelligent systems. Attendees will be among the first to know about
